Dem lawmaker compares GOP to 'religious cult'
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) slammed the Republican Party in an interview on “Rising” that aired Wednesday, comparing it to a cult following President Trump.
“The whole Republican Party now is almost like a religious cult that is surrounding an organized crime family, that’s the mentality,” Raskin, who serves on the House Oversight Committee, told Hill.TV’s Buck Sexton and Juanita Tolliver.
Raskin said that Trump’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen seems like “refugee” from a “crime organization.” He cited a tweet about Cohen sent by GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz (Fla.) the night before Cohen's congressional testimony as a prime example.
He received the threats and the intimidation, which is why we had to reschedule the hearing originally,” Raskin told Hill.TV. “But even on the eve of the this most recent testimony, a member of Congress tweeted out some threats based apparently on false information the night before and then had to apologize for it.”
